The treatment compares transvaginal radiofrequency with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and PFMT alone. The present study is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding (evaluator and patients). The objective is to evaluate what radiofrequency can provide in the improving of the quality of life, symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength of patients with SUI. The reason for the combination with PFMT, is that it is the golden standard treatment in pelvic floor rehabilitation and SUI improvement.
